- Fibrous(Synarthrosis) joints
- Bone to bone without cartilage
- Suture : Skull(sutures)
- Gomphosis : Connecting the Gum to teeth
- Syndesmosis : Interosseous membrane between tibia and fibula, Interosseous membrane between radius and ulna
- Bone to bone without cartilage
- Cartilageous(Amphiarthrosis) joints
- Bone to bone by cartilage
- Synchondrosis : Growth plates(epiphyseal plates) Costosternal joints
- Symphyses : Pubic symphysis, Intervertebral discs
- Bone to bone by cartilage
- Synovial(Diarthrosis) Joints
- Bone to bone by the capsule which is fluid(Synovial fluid) inside. = Diarthrosis
- Plane joint = sliding jont = gliding joint
- Multiaxial joint, all movement allowed, but very little rotation
- Example : Intercarpal joints. Intertarsal joint, AcromioClavicular(AC) joint, subtalar joint
- Ball and Socket joint
- Multiaxial joint, all movements allowed
- Example : GH joint, Hip joint
- Pivot joint
- Uniaxial joint / only uniaxial rotation
- Example : C1/C2 joint(Atlantoaxial joint), Proximal and distal radioulnar joints
- Hinge joint
- Uniaxial joint / Only move one axis to flex or extend
- Example : Humeroulnar joint, PIP(Proximal Interphalangeal joint), DIP(Distal interphalangeal joint)
- Condyloid joint = Ellipsoid joint
- Biaxial joint/ flexion,extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction
- Example : MCP(Metacarpalphalangeal joint), Radiocarpal joint
- Saddle joint
- Biaxial joint / more freely movement than condyloid joint / flexion,extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction
- Example : 1st Carpometacarpal joint,
- Plane joint = sliding jont = gliding joint
- Bone to bone by the capsule which is fluid(Synovial fluid) inside. = Diarthrosis
